Not a study, but I’ve talked with 100s of kids by now, and 100% every single one that I’ve talked to knows that participation trophies are absolute BS. Kids aren’t idiots. They know the truth of who won & who didn’t. If you think about it, the trophies are really for the adults https://t.co/RKvELYW1XH

Here’s my favorite picture of Kobe Bryant. Look at how delighted these girls are to win 4th place https://t.co/cCbKz0YfgL

I vividly remember what it was like to be a child. I often turn to Maurice Sendak for quotes to help remind people who’ve forgotten https://t.co/gDZoOQRdis

@visakanv i'm glad chess at least has the decency to make the participation tokens ribbons and leave trophies for winning (in late 00's pgh at least)
